Using join definitions

[travhpsm]

This is may be a rookie question, but I'm getting a "validation error" when trying to create a CI that calls a join definition between the device table and a CI attribute table. I know that validation errors usually occur when you didn't set a mandatory field. In this case, only one stub instance of logical.name is availabe to set (the one for the device table). How do I set logical.name on the joined CI attribute table since that is a mandatory field on that table?

If the same field exists in both the main and attribute table, they will be managed as one. So I doubt the issue is with validation on the attibute file for logical.name.

Could you post some more details on the error message and when it is generated?

harn145, you were right! We found our problem this afternoon and it was not with logical.name, but with a misuse of "type" in conflict with getType. We followed some info I found in a HP Best Practice Guide that told us to rename our extaccess caption for "type" to "CIType" so that it would not conflict with getType class. It works like a charm now. Thanks.
